a Novel Idea.

A Texas newspaper proposes
a change in the constitution of
that State, so each county shall
pay its members of the Legisla-
ture such salary as it pleases.
The idea IS novel, and if adopted
we advise members to collect
their pay before they go to the
LIE yislature, for he isa lucky man
to serve a session without MAX
ing his county want to renig
on his pay.

Kitchen Walls.

-
There is Il COMMON notion that q
kitchen must be wainscoted for at least
three or four feet in height around the
walls, and if We wish to be particularly
correct, we must have a dado of
Dutch tiles and a paneled ceiling.
There is 10 objection to tiles on the
score of CLEANLINESS, but n plastered
wall is, on may accounts preferable to a
wainscot of wood. If the morter is
made of the best materials, put on as
plastering ought to be and thoroughly
painted, it will be less absorbent, more
impervious to vermin, and more easily
kept clean than any form of wooden
wainscot. 1t is only necessary to put
ones nose within the door of a tall
clock that has stood for a few genera
tions in an old style kitchen, to appreci-
ate the absorbent quality of wood; the
outside of the case may be filed and
finished, gilded and decorated, but the
musty odors of antiquity will forever
haunt the dark cavity in which the
big and little weights chase each other
up and down, even as the scent of the
roses clings to a broken vase. A newly
finished wainscot of wood is sweet and
clean, but wait till the small cracks
begin to show and a smart rap on its sur.
face iberates a small cloud of I'll
lated dust. Doubtless the wood will bear
smart raps, thrusts of the mop handle.
sharp corners of the furniture and other
attacks better than the plastering, but
with q band of wood or tiles at the
Ioral &c tbo toms of tho fablnc and %ba
chair backs, there is no more rational
excus fer breaking the plastering on
the kitchen walls than in any other con-
stantly occupied room. The weakness
of plastering is usually in the backing

Roof GardeH

mo, 1 am no going to the eountrD
this summer" said q rich and decid
cdly original friend of mine, the other
day, in New York, in response to the
st~ereotyped question which greets
everybody at this season of the year.
81 shall spend a month in the moun
tains in the autumn when the foliage
begins to turn, but the summer l shall
spend in my roof garden" l suppose
l stared at him blankly, for he laughed
and added. ''Yes, my roof garden;
come up and see it. All the advant-
ages of the country, no mosquitoes,
no malaria, cool air, large airy bed.
rooms, house with all modern improve.
ments, and all that sort of thing.
Come up and dine with me and l will
show you"
We strolled mp the avenue and en-
tered his house, on Murray hill. After
a capital dinner my friend smiled as
led the way to the elevator.
I'VE will have coffee and cigars in
the garden
When | had assembled the stairway
and stepped through the scuttle l
could hardly believe that / was on the
top of of the commonplace brown
stone houses of fashionable New York.
The fiat roof had been covered with a
narrow Slated flooring. Potted plants
sH1 shrubs in boxes delighted the eye,
relieved the sharp angles of the caves,
and hid the chimneys. A large mar
quee, such as we see on country lawns,
protected us from the sun, and rugs,
cane easy-chairs, hammocks, two or
three small bamboo tables, and a null
titude of Chinese lanterns made the
roof seem a bit of fairyland.
What do{ou think of itP" be said
gayly, as we seated ourselves, and his
wife made the coffee in one of those
French balance coffee-pots which make
the best coffee in the world. It was
charming. and / told him so.
'It costs 10 more than a week at a
fashionable hotel would, and it is much
more comfortable. My cooking suits
me. There are no unpleasant people.
no wild rushes for trains or boats, no
stuffy little hotel rooms, no impudent
walters. We have a cool breeze mere
every night, and a fine view. See
there where the Brooklyn bridge
stretches across the river like a neck
lace of diamonds. That cluster of
brilliants is the light tower in Madison
square, and the one just below is
Union square. The little park off in
the bay is the statute of Liberty, be-
yond are the electric lights of St.
George and Erastina, Staten Island.
Over there is the Casino with its many
coiored lights on the roof garden from
which l got my ideas, and beyond it
are the twinkling lights of Jersey City
and Hoboken. l think it is rather
Jolly myself" he concluded, modestly.
1t was awful jolly, and l wonder
that more people do not follow my
friend 5 example. During the evening
half a dozen people dropped in and
were shown up to the roof. Ices and
a bottle or two of wine were served,
and when | strolled down the hot city
street again l could hardly realize
that there was such a jolly little park
high up in TIE air, where all the COM
forts of the city and country could be
combined into such a unique and de-
ligbtfai whole.
